Hey Um...Kinda New Here, But I've Gotta Ask A Question Regarding The Mapmaking...

[Miss_Foxy]

Well, to start off, i'm kinda new here and i've been wondering several questions, they would be:

1. Is the World Editor capable of making the map bounds bigger than usual? As in there would be several minimaps in one whole downloaded map?

2. Did The Hive Workshop sorta invent a new kinda World Editor? If they did, could you tell me how'd i get it too, cause it might be kinda fun if there was a better World Editor...

3. How is it possible to edit the characters? Like what do you use?

4. Is there any way to have more objects in a map and less or no lag?

5. How do you edit the terrain of a map to make it look quite nice? Like "smoother"...?

PS: Oh and, can someone tell me why the picture in my Signature can't pop out?

Please help answer my questions cause i'm kinda curious, thanks people!

Someone Reply Me Please...

Well, i'm not really getting any replys like the others, so could any of you at least show me that you're alive and able to read my message, thanks!

 

[jiffy_peanutbutter]

Well I'm certainly alive, I just don't know how many people are at this time of day.

Welcome to the Hive!

Are you making any maps?

Oops, I only read your second post, I'll answer your questions in a second.

1: Use World Editor unlimited wich can be downloaded in the tool section

2: No

3: Edit charecters, like edit heroes? I don't get it

4: Vjass Newgen i think, never actually tried it, so you might wanna ask someone else

5: Use the smoother tool i think

 

[jiffy_peanutbutter]

1. As far as I know, your map is limited to the the biggest setting, but I'm not sure.

2. I don't think the Hive did, but there is one out there. World Editor Unlimited. It's not that great though.

3-5. Dunno, not the one to answer that.

5. Use the smoothing in the Terrain Palette, it's in the same place as higher/lower ground.
4. Depends on how you mean it, if you mean by triggers you should fix leaks. Search the forum for that.
Otherwise: Upgrade your computer
3. The characters? What characters? I assume you mean heroes? Just open the Object Editor and there ya go!
2. World Editor Unlimited - The Hive Workshop - A Warcraft III Modding Site That's the one for you then.

Some Features: More Tilesets allowed in one map, unlimited raising/lowering of the terrain, shows ''hidden'' units.. and MOAR!

1. You can set the bounds by triggers - camera like in Uther party, otherwise use options - map blalabla.


And no, we're all dead.

 

[Preskooldude]

Let's see...

1) Download World Editor Unlimited for bigger bounds. I dunno if NewGenPack does that too...
2) Well, WC3Campaigns gave us the NewGenPack, but that's mainly for advanced modders who really like JASS.
3) Object editor is what you're looking for? This question's already been answered, so I won't bother.
4) Objects shouldn't cause that much lag... it's usually the triggers that do that. Although if you really, really need to have thousands of objects, try RtC. I hear they smoothed out some factors that caused lag when rendering too many objects. There are... limitations with RtC though.
5) Smooth...er? I'm not quite sure what you mean, if SIlent_One didn't already answer it.

 

[Miss_Foxy]

What i meant on point 3 was like, how do i create my own characters and not use those from Warcraft III or not combining them together? For example, just making you know...a character of your own with it's own animation and graphics...

 

[TheToastedChicken]

Use a model Editor.
However I suggest you look for help in the tutorial section.

 

[Miss_Foxy]

Okay thanks for your wonderful you people... =)

 

[AirHead]

For question three (which I seemed to be the only one to understand) you need a 3D modeling tool such as milkshape 3D (25$ I think) or 3dsmax (expensive) or GMax (free but annoying) and there are some 3D modeling tools specifically made for Warcraft III like Magos' Model Editor (free) Warforger (free) and Warshape (free) or every Oinkerwinkle tools (all free) which you can find in the tools section. if you want to try to use GMax I have made a tutorial for getting your models from it to warcraft, but I suggest first hat you look for a GMax modeling Tutorial

Here is a GMax modeling tutorial and here is a GMax Exporting Tutorial, as well as creating your own models you can use the models submitted here by other in our models section.

if you don't think GMax is right for you than you can switch to something a little more user friendly (but a little less useful) like warforger warshape or the oinkerwinkle tools.

 

[Miss_Foxy]

One last question, why can't I display my signature picture...?

 

[FrIkY]

Hello there! Welcome to Hive Workshop! Have fun and enjoy your stay here!

/FrIkY just loves to spam like a bot ^^

 

[AirHead]

That I don't really know and couldn't answer for you, it could be something is wrong with the type of file that the picture is, try making it a .jpg file if it isn't already one. Although I could be wrong, I have never experienced the problem myself.

 

[Miss_Foxy]

Thanks found out how to display the picture thanks~!

Here's Another Question:

Well, here's another few questions i wanna ask since i'm still curious to learn more about this site, i hope you guys don't mind:

1. How do people make area of effect damge every second auras, cause i might want to make one in my map, it's like undying's Heartstopper Aura or Radiance?

2. How do you generate resources every second?

3. Is there a way to make a tiny little window in Warcraft III to pop out like some games i know? It's like a small box with some options to choose in it...

4. How do you protect a map or erm... hack into a protected map hehes...

I Guess That's About All But If Any Of You Don't Reply Soon, I'll Presume That You're All Dead...

PS: Erm, what's the maximum size of a signature picture...?

PPS: By the way, how often does the team reply to threads? It's really annoying to just sit here and wait for a reply...

PPPS: Omg! Still waiting... Still waiting...

1: Try permanent immolation i think

2:

• Event
  • Every 1 Second
• Condition
• Action
  • Player - Add (integer) lumber to (Player)
  • Player - Add (integer) gold to (Player)

I thinks it somthing like that, i got no world editor availeble right now.

3: I think thats called Dialogs, they a bit triggy, try search after a tutorial in the tutorial section.

4: Againts hive rules to discuss both brotection and deprotection (Deprotection Especially) since each user have their rights to privacy in their maps, and no one wants a thousand lousy copies on battle.net, but try this side for protections, deprotection programs won't i even think of linking

ps: its noted when you upload them i think.

pps: When peoples logged on

ppps: don't ''bump'' more than once each 48 hour

 

[AirHead]

for question three (again haha) I have done it before, they are called dialog boxes, it's a little tricky at first but if you get it right it gets allot easier. also be careful with them, they can glitch with just a slightly wrong trigger and make it hard to exit Warcraft III and that's just annoying.

If there is not a Tutorial for dialog boxes I will make one soon, as they're are a large part of a map I am making so I know them well.

the_silent there is a tutorial for top random stuff questions made by Ralle and it has protection in it, so if Ralle told how to do it I think it's fine. unprotection is strictly against the rules though. here's a link to the tutorial.
